' We've been approached something like 25 times since the war. I kicked each out the window because they weren't going to make it with the integrity we require the story of the SAS to be told.'
- Colonel Sir David Stirling, OBE, DSO, Founder of the SAS

Based on over 120 hours of recently uncovered video & audio tape, The Originals tells the story of the birth of the SAS in the words of its founding members for the first time. Even David Stirling, founder of the regiment, contributed to the project
- most historians believe he died without giving a single interview.

It is also a very human story of a gang of misfits coming together to create a unit like no other: a maverick son of a Scottish laird; a boy who lied about his age to enlist; a policeman; a cheeky cockney; a Lincolnshire boxer; an Irish rugby international imprisoned for beating up his commanding officer; an Oxford rowing president & a quietly spoken man of God.

The Originals covers the regiment's formation in 1941 to its supposed disbanding in 1945. With only two founding members alive today, it is not only an important document but a thrilling & moving read that will leave you reeling.

Only in the interval between late September & late October 1941 did the desire to 'remove' the Jews intersect with the discovery of acceptable means of killing them on a large scale & with the euphoria of expected victory in Russia, all of which followed on from two years of 'race war' & 'racial imperialism' in eastern Europe that prepared 'ordinary Germans' for this fateful task. ...
